Well I traded my blown 100hp for a rebuild 1994 Johnson 150 faststrike. Well the new/used motor runs great and is much quieter and smoother than the old 100. Anyway I cannot figure out how to slow down the idle speed. It is running about 1000/1100 after warming up. I don't see an idle screw like I am used to. On the top of the flywheel are several plastic levers that move with the throttle but I don't know which one controls the idle speed. I hate to start moving things with some clue what I am doing...

Does anyone know how to set the idle speed or is there a web site to get the service manual online. I tried Evinrude and they want to sell me the manual. I hate to spend that kind of money for idle adjustment.

Thanks for your help.
